Alamorosa

These signs have been up for years, so I am certain the population has increased.

I am not sure who put them up, only that the area is best described that way.

Since Tularosa is 13 miles from Alamogordo, how do you refer to the highway area businesses, and homes?

A Beach Cottage dream

Ah, more weather.  Winter for sure!  We are only in the first month of the year and everyone is ready for this to be over!  We are desert rats after all.  I read a lovely blog from Australia called a Beach Cottage

http://abeachcottage.typepad.com/my_weblog/   They are in the middle of summer and I read her blog and dream of a white cottage by the sea....

Here we have no sea, no summer in sight, no white cottages...We do have clouds looming, mesquite smoke in the air and bare trees awaiting their time to bud...

This horse is at the Mountain View Riding Stables, waiting along with us.
